More crew to service Air Arabia's growing customer base

To better service their customers, the airline is continuing ongoing recruitment across key areas of the business and the addition of the ninth group of cabin crew takes the total number of crew to 92.

Air Arabia received its certification last year to conduct their own training for aircraft familiarisation, first aid, general procedures, in-flight emergencies and service techniques and now completes cabin crew training in-house.

Air Arabia's ninth group of cabin crew is a testament to the international environment of the company; the group of 6 consists of 5 different nationalities from Syria, Philippines, France, Morocco and Iran with 11 different spoken languages between them.

Air Arabia's crew are a diverse group that hail from 29 different nationalities and speak 34 languages, so no matter which continent the airline's customers are from there is a crew member that can speak their native language. The diversity of the crew's background will benefit the Air Arabia customer by providing excellent service garnered in different industry backgrounds and customer service environments.

'As the number of our destinations continues to increase as well as our fleet of aircraft, this ability to train our cabin crew in-house becomes more and more important,' said Adel Ali, Air Arabia's CEO. He added: 'Not only do we ensure that cabin crew undergo intensive training in all safety aspects, but with the training by Air Arabia staff it gives meaning to hands-on experience - cabin crew get a real taste of the ultimate Air Arabia experience.'

Air Arabia has flown over a million passengers throughout the region and neighbouring countries to date. The next six months will see Air Arabia offering increased destinations as it continues with plans to fly to more destinations across the region.

Committed to enabling customers who have not been able to afford air travel in the past to start travelling throughout the region and those who do travel to travel more frequently, Air Arabia offers tremendous opportunities to travellers who are looking for competitive fares.

It aims to make air travel more convenient and frequent, while providing the lowest fares in the market without sacrificing the standards of safety, quality or service offered.
